Testimonials<\/h4>\n

\u201cThe Summer Accelerator helped give me the confidence to really go forth and try to pursue my venture. [Before], I wasn\u2019t sure if I had the confidence to see this through, but after spending time with this cohort I realized I have what it takes.\u201d
\n-Sarah Hillesheim,<\/a> Engineering, Innovate@BU Summer Accelerator
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I first began working [here], I was asked if I saw myself as an innovator. Initially, I said no – I haven’t created a start-up or even built a new invention, how could I call myself an innovator? However, working at [Innovate@BU], I’ve learned that anyone can be an innovator in the clothes they chose to wear or even the ideas they bring to the table – I’ve learned that I am an innovator too. This is what makes [it] so great and unique.”

“What I loved about the program was it gave you a lot of freedom to meet people, brainstorm ideas and come up with new ways to think.\u201d
